VITRA Design Museum – Keynote Lecture and Discussion

VITRA Design Museum – Keynote Lecture and Discussion

New materials are important drivers of innovation in design. In recent years, concerns about sustainability have led to the development of unconventional materials and compounds including biologically degradable plastic, leather from fish skin or material made from fungal mycelium.

What possibilities do these and other materials hold for creators, users and manufacturers?

On September 21, designers Mauri Montalti from Officina Corpuscoli and Christien Meindertsma will discuss with experts from the field of material innovation including Eva Höfli, innovation specialist and designer at the designfabrik® of BASF.

The event is organised as part of a collaboration with Het Nieuwe Instituut(NL). Free admission

We look forward to meeting you there!
